322 The Spotlight

Keeley took Alice to a nearby nail salon that stayed open late since most closed earlier in the day. It wasn't as fancy as the ones she was used to but Keeley refused to step into that part of town because of all the bad memories. She didn't need the reminder of her former life.

Alice didn't seem to mind; she was just happy to be getting her nails done. For her, it was something familiar and comforting. Her manicure involved a mixture of matte and glossy burgundy nails with one pinkish gold sparkly accent nail per hand.

Keeley wasn't nearly so fancy. Her nails were all yellow except the accent nails, which were white with a lighter yellow heart on each. They were bright and fun; exactly the opposite of the kind of manicures she got in her first life.

Back then, her nails were much more subdued. They didn't suit her taste at all. But to maintain the image of the daughter-in-law of the Hale family, she had to get her nails done every other week.
